Oddly, my purple Plantago all went completely deciduous. I think the green ones in the lawn are mostly semi-evergreen. I&#39;m disappointed. I&#39;ll be sticking with Ajuga for purple groundcover foliage. Those are indeed tillandsias. That garden is probably close to being USDA zone 9, and there are some pretty hardy tillandias.

I really love that arrangement. Another vignette I like a lot is the bamboo with carpet of black mondo grass.

One, the gray one, was identified as Ochagavia carnea, and the other more green one is that one, whose names escapes me right now, that flowers bright red in the center. Both marginally hardy, but maybe more hardy for Jerry there in his more protected location.

Heck, it would stand out next to virtually every property I see here too. I adore that green roof above the front door. And that groundcover between the stones and the rock sure looks like Tillandsia - warmed by the surrounding stone, could the pocket provide a microclimate within a microclimate?Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-83584048057098754652019-01-10T09:19:27.554-08:002019-01-10T09:19:27.554-08:00Holy cow that Eucalyptus (glaucescens?
